By using the detachable post (Pedestal Pin), illus- trated in Fig. 113, these Electric Bio-Dynamo-Chromes can be attacht to any kind of a frame that the physician might want to attach to his oxygen-vapor generator, or to a bracket in any part of the dark room. There must be a_ free air circulation in Valens Electric Bio-Dynamo- Chromes, and for that reason a foot is put on each corner. Fig. 115. Valens Bio-Dynamo-Chrome on a Valens adjustable pedestal. Noris: Valens Electric B-D-C is not made for con- plant illumination. It is not made for chromatic therapy, ut for B-D.C therapy and for B-D-C diagnosis. 173DIRECTIONS FOR OPERATING VALENS Execrric Bio-Dynamo-CHRroME (StyLe E) The lamp used in this apparatus is a 60-watt tungsten. This outht is made to be used with the Valens Chro- matic screens. If glass is used, place one of the Valens Dimmers back of the glass. The glass can be 6 inches square. The distance from the lamp to the back of the screen is correct for the material used in the screens (314 inches), and the radiant light given off from the screens is correct with this distance from the lamp. When both plunger Switches ar out, all current is off the device. _ When both plunger switches ar in, a constant light is given. When the right plunger switch is in, and the left one is out, a stedy light is given. When the left plunger switch is in and the right one is out, intermittent light is given, after waiting about two minutes for the thermic interrupter to heat up. (See Fig. 114.) The intervals of intermittence of this light should be so adjusted that the light is on as long as it is of. To adjust this interval, use a small screwdriver thru the hole in the box that is opposit the large adjusting screw. It wil be one of the side holes or the top hole at the back of the box (not those on the back lid). As this interrupter is a thermic interrupter, hot or cold wether wil affect it a little. It also be affected by use, and in time it wil wear out. This is the only part of the apparatus that wil not last for years. It is easy to put in a new interrupter, as I hav standardized them and hav them made up in quantity. They ar made especially for this device. As the wires ar all put on by wire terminals, it is an easy matter to put in a new interrupter. All the inside workings of the box ar removed when the back is taken off. The ventilation of this apparatus is made correct. It wil be notist that the top of the screen cannot hit the back of the opening. This allows a good circulation of air back of the fabric (The Chromatic Screens require a space six inches square.) 174The screw-plate on the under part of Valens Bio-Dyna- mo-Chrome is for attaching the pedestal pin or for attach- ing to a camera tripod. (Figs. 113 and 114.) Home-mave B-D-C Outrits From the descriptions and illustrations given, a first- class cabinet maker could make almost any of the outfit. An expert electrician should be able to equip the electrical part. If the physician does not want to bother with the making of the outfits, I am prepard to furnish any of the Valens Specialties. T hav been obliged to personally devize all the outfits that I use for the work. “VALENS” —WHaAT IT SIGNIFIES To protect the users of my system of Bio-Dynamo- Chromatic Diagnosis and Therapy, my standardized Chro- matic Screens ar named Valens Chromatic Screens. This name is registerd in the United States Patent Offis so no one else can use it. To further protect the users of this system, I am getting out domestic and foren patents on the process of making the screens. All the devices and instruments devized by me and made under my supervision ar trademarkt “Valens.” Some physicians hav criticized me for this, but they would not if they wer posted in the ways of the world. None of the devices used ar held at an exorbitant price, and it is only by protecting a system of this kind that it can be kept out of the hands of imposters, who would put out unreliable outfits to defraud the unwary physician. In all professions and walks of life, there ar those who would never turn a stone or even push a banana peel off the sidewalk to protect a passer, yet they would criticize anyone else who did. However, such people ar in the minority. (Many of the devices I use can be home-made for individual use. The text and illustrations show one how.) I hav been a lifetime in developing this system, and hay just one aim in mind—success—and work to its attain- ment. If my work wil aid suffering humanity, I feel wel repaid. There is no limit to this work. Its possibilities ar endless. 175VALENS PEDESTAL The pedestal that I devized for use with the Valens Electric Bio-Dynamo-Chrome is shown in Figs. 112 and 115. It is so arranged that it can be raisd or lowerd to radi- ate the light from the Chromatic Screen directly on the epi- gastric region. Fig. 118 givs the exact dimensions of this Fig. 116. Two Valens Electric Bio-Dynamo-Chromes used together fon one pedestal. These I use for development work. They ar not needed by the B-D-C practician. pedestal so any cabinet maker can duplicate it. They should be made of quarterd oak, natural finish, to match the Bio- Dynamo-Chromes. 17%6Two Bio-DyNAMo-CHROMES ON ONE PEDESTAL Fig. 116 shows how I use two Electric Bio-Dynamo- Chromes on one pedestal. They ar so arranged as to focus together about five feet away from the Chromatic Screen, I use such an arrangement for experimental work and for com- bining radiant colors. In this manner I can use two different Fig. 117. Showing four Electric Bio-Dynamo-Chromes on one estal. This I use for development work only, It enables me to re bild up the Chromatic Screens. Such a combination is not cald for by B-D-C practicians. colord screens at a time to observ the effects upon the re- flexes and in that way can arrive at the proper combination to make in the Chromatic Screens. This special arrangement is necessary only in reserch and development work. 77ON oe “e | * | | | | za | | | | 4 3 Fig. 118. Working plan of Valens Adjustable Pedestal.

Any good cabinet maker can make such a box and every B-D-C practician wil find same a great convenience. Notis that the lid shuts down light- proof. VALENS TURNTABLE Figs. 13, 16, 17, etc., show the simplest form of turn- table that I use for turning the patient. Phe stationary part of this turntable can be made any height to accommodate the physician. The best average height is from four to six inches. The top of this stationary or under part is coverd with hevy metal so that the ball-bearing rollers in the upper or revolving part wil hav a solid material to turn on. 179An axle is attacht to the lower or stationary part, upon which it turns. The upper surface of the turntable can be coverd with aluminum, but it is not necessary as we hav found that grounding the individual to the bare skin is infin- itly better than grounding thru the shoes or stockings. How- ever, aluminum makes a fine appearing top. By using a turntable the individual does not hav to move a muscle when being turnd from east or west to north or south, which greatly facilitates the work of diagnosing. Fig. 120. Showing how a very attractiv offis or waiting-room table can be made to go on a Valens Adjustable Pedestal. Any good cabinet maker can make this elegant outfit.

Any good cabinet maker can make a turntable like the one illustrated. Quarterd oak in natural finish I think is the best. VALENS FOOT SWITCH Fig. 123 shows the foot switch which I employ for turning the colord light on and off. I find the use of such a switch is imperativ in doing accurate work when the patient faces north or south and has the light from the Bio-Dynamo- Chrome thrown directly on the bared chest. The light can be instantly extinguisht by the foot and the change of tension in the capillaries can be immediately demonstrated by air- colum percussion or other air-colum vibration. Another advantage of the foot switch is found when demonstrating the use of the ruby light (Fig. 20). If the Fig. 123. Valens Foot Switch for Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Diagnosis. Each pressure of plunger puts light on or off. ruby light is shining on the bared chest of a normal individual while facing north or south, the same tone obtains as when they ar facing east or west. By extinguishing the ruby light the same change in tension takes place as when the person is turnd from east or west to north or south. By using the foot switch to extinguish the light, the hands ar at liberty and no assistant is needed. The Valens Foot Switch is a standard, porcelain pro- tected, plunger switch of the best make. The porcelain box is set into an oak block and coverd with a brass plate. A standard cord connector is attacht to the switch, so it can be attacht to any standard Hubbell plug. Each push of the plunger puts the light on or off. Any good electrician can make such a device. 182Fig. 124 shows the author's diagnosing table outfit— energy conductor, bio-dynamo-meter, turntable and foot switch.

RADIANT COLORS—THEIR GENERAL INDICA- TION IN BIO-DYNAMO-CHROMATIC WORK CLASSIFICATION If one wil carefully observ the radiations from my various Chromatic Screens and then compare these colors with the indications, they wil be imprest with the follow- ing facts which hav a very great significance, as I shal briefly mention when discussing the action of drugs. , Radiant “red” as wel as other colors at the “negativ’ end of the chromatic curv (Fig. 29) ar indicated in con- ditions that hav a particular tendency to produce anemia or a reduced hemoglobin index, for example, tuberculosis. Radiant “blue” as wel as other colors toward the “positiv” end of the chromatic curv ar indicated in con- ditions that hay a selectiv action upon the spleen and spinal cord, for example, syfilis. Radiant “violet” at the neutral part of the chromatic curv is indicated in conditions that hav a selectiv action upon the urinary tract. for example, gonorrhea. Radiant “green,” which is toward the positiv end of the chromatic curv, is indicated in conditions having a selectiv action upon the hepatic system, for example, jaundis. The brilliant colors, such as “orange,” “yellow,” and “magenta” ar indicated in conditions having a selectiv action upon the nervous system, for example, neuroses and mental derangements. The combination of radiant “green” and radiant “blue” is indicated in conditions having a selectiv action upon both the liver and spleen, for example, malaria. Radiant “red” and “green” combind hav a selectiv action upon conditions producing a profound toxemia out of all proportion to the symptoms, for example, influenza and tonsilitis. ou, , 184I could go on indefinitly enumerating many different combinations of colors which hay selectiv actions upon the digestiv tract, respiratory tract, etc. It can redily be seen how, when one becomes accus- tomd to the radiant colors used in B-D-C work, they wil “feel” or sense the color or combinations of colors that ar indicated in treating the various conditions that come under their observation. This classification is not empirical, but on the contrary was made after the clinical findings had been formulated. I had no idea of this classification until I began to tabulate the various conditions and the indicated Chromatic Screen used for same. Druc ENerGy or Potarity or REMEDIAL AGENCIES This discussion must necessarily be brief as the sub- ject is so great that a large volume could be written about it. I want to call your attention to it here, and perhaps someone who has the time can write a very interesting book on this wonderfully instructiv and far-reaching topic. Actinic colors—blues and blue combinations—ar electro-positiv or neutral. Non-actinic colors—reds, yellows, greens and their combinations—ar electro-negativ. One color radiation (rate and mode of motion) can neutralize or change another color radiation and thus pro- duce an entirely different radiation (different rate and mode of motion). Foods appear to possess polarity or, in other words, to be electric or magnetic. Is it not this “‘polar” property of foods that giv them their individual properties when taken into the animal economy ? Is it not the latent electrical or magnetic property of foods that make them suitable for one person and not for another—curativ for some malconditions and producing malconditions in some who hav helth? Is it not the electric or magnetic property of foods that make some particular foods synergistic with certain remedies while some other foods would be antagonistic? I firmly believe that it is the electric and magnetic properties of foods which make them stabilizers of metab- 185olism. Each particular food when digested or when it enters the animal economy produces its definit rate and mode of motion. At times the same food wil agree with a person and at other times it wil not. From my study of polarities, it seems as tho the same food at times wil destroy the normal celular rate and mode of motion, while at other times it will stabilize it. When selecting foods as remedies, I believe this electric or magnetic property of food should be constantly kept in mind. Drugs of all kinds when taken into the animal economy change the celular rate and mode of motion in that system. This is fundamental. If we wil carefully look over the magnetic polarity of drugs themselvs or of the polar energy produced by the action of a given drug upon the system, we wil be amazed to observ how this law of polar equilibrium works out. Colors also hav their polar effect, as has been pre- viously mentiond. Disease really means dis-ease, that is, lack of ease or lack of polar equilibrium in the body. Exprest in another way, disease means an abnormal celular rate and mode of motion. Tuberculosis, for example, designates an abnormal celular rate and mode of motion in the body caracterized by certain symptoms or conditions in which the tubercle bacilli ar present, or else a condition in which the tubercle bacilli wil thrive. The abnormal rate and mode of motion given to the vital force of the body suffering with tuberculosis is tem- porarily normalized by radiant ruby light. This same ab- normal celular rate and mode of motion is temporarily neutralized by the negativ pole of a bar magnet. Therefore the polar energy given off from a tuberculous lesion is elec- tro-positiv. The remedies which ar the most potent in this con- dition and which hav been used the longest and with the most benefit ar stimulating in nature and radio-negativ and hav an affinity for the positiv pole. Red color is stimulating and has for years been used with success as an auxiliary in treating tuberculosis. Negativ electricity is stimulating and has been used with beneficial results in treating this same condition. 186Oxygen and iodin hav an affinity for the positiv pole and ar very potent remedies in treating tuberculosis. Every remedy that is beneficial in tuberculosis pos- sesses an affinity for the positiv pole. Do they not neu- tralize the abnormal energy from the tuberculous lesion in the same manner as non-actinic color radiations do? Any medicament colord red or yellow exercizes a far more beneficial result in treating tuberculosis than the same medicament not so colord. Sunlight is one of the most potent remedies for tuber- culosis. The red rays from the spectrum ar the ones which penetrate deepest thru the tissues. The skin has the peculiar property of admitting the red rays of the spectrum and keeping many of the others out. This is easily proved by putting an electric light bulb into the mouth and observing the color of the cheek opposit the light. Jt will always be red. This is not causd by the color of the blood because the same fenomenon obtains when the light is put into the mouth of a ded person. Every abnormal condition of the body seeks an agency to normalize itself, and is not that a polar affinity rather than any other? The body demands and must hav its polar affinity in all abnormal conditions before it wil possess a normal celular rate and mode of motion—helth. I believe it is the abnormal polarity of the body in any given disease that makes certain remedies or foods especially beneficial in that given condition. I believe those remedies or foods must create the opposit polarity of that given disease to be of any benefit. I believe the secret of nature and of natural remedies, be they of light, color, sound, radioactivity, foods or drugs, lies in their ability to normalize the abnormal polarity in any given disease. I believe the principle function of all remedial agencies is to restore magnetic equilibrium, that is, a normal celular rate and mode of motion—helth. Syfilis is diagnosed by the “complementary blue” radi- ant light, that is, a radiation of the opposit polarity to the dark-room-ruby. This color, when radiated upon the body wil temporarily normalize the abnormal rate and mode of motion caused by this toxemia. 187The positiv end of a bar magnet, if used in a certain manner, wil do the same. Therefore the energy given off from a syfilitic lesion is electro-negativ. Mercury is the time-honord remedy and the so-cald “specific” for syfilis. Mercury is electro-positiv and has an affinity for the negativ pole, and as medicinally used it has a bluish color. Todin is of an opposit polarity to mercury, but it also has a specific action on the abnormal condition, syfilis. I believe the reason for this is that iodin has the peculiar property in syfilitic conditions of producing compounds in the body which hav an affinity for the negativ pole and therefore ar electro-positiv in nature. This is one reason why iodin should be given as jodin and not in a compound. Every remedy used for treating syfilis should be elec- tro-positiv or be able to produce electro-positiv elements, and thus be able to neutralize the abnormal negativ energy induced by the syfilitic condition. Malaria is on this same order as it can be diagnosed by the “complementary blue” color, but it has a different rate and mode of motion from syfilis as it can be diagnosed specifically by a combination of blue and green. Right here stop and think how malaria confuses the Wassermann test for syfilis. Some claim that 60 per cent. of all malarial cases wil giv a Wassermann positiv. The rate and mode of motion of quinin, arsenic, and the iron preparations, which hav a specific action on the plasmonium malariae, ar the same, or similar to, the rate and mode of motion from the F-Chromatic Screen, which differentiates malaria from syfilis. The radiation from this same screen temporarily nor- malizes the abnormal rate and mode of motion from the body intoxicated with malarial poison or quinin. Right here I want to again mention the fact that the term, “polarity,” is not broad enuf to cover biological conditions, because certain rates and modes of motion may be similar to the rate and mode of motion of one pole, but not identical with it. Hahnemann proved that quinin (the bark from which it is made) would produce symptoms identical with those of malaria. If a person is given quinin until they hav the malarial symptoms, the radiations from the F-Chromatic 188Screen wil temporarily normalize that abnormal condition, as is evidenst by the MM VR. Anemia is a condition in which the hemoglobin is deficient. Therefore the positiv element of the blood over- balances the negativ. ‘The only remedies that ar beneficial in rectifying an anemic condition ar stimulating in caracter. The remedies that ar most potent in treating anemia ar naturally red in color—they hav an affinity for the positiv pole. I am aware of the fact that “iron” is a time-honord remedy for anemia, but modern workers now know that iron per se plays no part in curing anemia. Sunlight has a specific action upon one suffering with anemia and, as before mentiond, sunlight givs to the body a predominance of red rays. Oxygen along with sunlight wil cure anemia. They ar specific. Venous blood givs off electro-positiv energy and ar- terial blood givs off electro-negativ energy. Therefore any condition which lowers the hemoglobin changes the blood’s normal polar equilibrium and must cause unrest of tissue. To stabilize anemic blood, electro-negativ elements must be employd. Red light has been proved to be beneficial in treating anemia. I believe that the foods that ar of the greatest benefit in anemia ar electro-negativ or become so when acted upon by the digestiv juices. Digestiv and stomac conditions ar best treated by remedies that ar of a yellow or yellow-brown color. The colors that I hav proved homeopathically demon- strate this fact. Another wel known principle in remedial agencies I want to bring out, and that is that the administration of the remedy has much to do with its curativ action, that is, with its ability to normalize “abnormal celular rate and mode of motion.” Ipecac, for instance, in minute doses “‘settles the sto- mac” and allays vomiting while large doses produce an emetic effect. This same fact is evidenst in alcohol. When given in small doses it has a stimulating or an electro- negativ action upon the body, but in large doses it has a narcotic effect, that is, it is electro-positiv in caracter. Following out this reasoning, it can be seen that some remedies being electro-negativ in caracter may be .clast as 189electro-positiv or vice versa, depending upon the quantity administerd. Any condition which causes muscular contraction gen- erates energy that is electro-negativ in caracter because the condition causd by activity is electro-negativ, while that causd by rest is electro-positiv. Gonorrhea is diagnosed by a_neutral-violet-radiant color (D-Chromatic Screen). Violet is a neutral color, that is, it is produced by the combination of the negativ color red and the positiv color blue. A gonorrheal lesion givs off energy that is dissipated by both poles of the bar magnet, and is also dissipated by the radiant energy thru the D-Chromatic Screen. The remedies that ar most potent in neutralizing the gonorrheal condition ar violet or purple in color, or pro- duce that color when taken into the system. Any food or drink that is negativ or red in caracter aggravates a gonorrheal condition, but all foods or remedial agencies which ar neutral or positiv in caracter aid in curing the condition. Febril conditions call for blue or remedies that ar electro-positiv, cooling and sedativ. May it not be that the true value of all remedial agencies ar their color or their color-producing qualities? I hav had this fact very forcibly brot to my attention by many of my pupils, and altho I hav not had time to elab- orate on it, Pade one very remarkable finding, namely, “scarlet red” is a red anilin dye in an oily base. This oint- ment has been used with markt success in healing certain kinds of open sores. I had a patient under my care on whom I used this ointment and it had no effect. I took some of the same base and made it blue, and it acted like magic in healing up the sore. This sore gave off energy which could be neutralized by radiant blue. T hav receivd similar reports from my pupils. One in particular, P. C. Jensen, Ph.C., MD., of Manistee, Mich., has given me valuable suggestions along these lines. He took an oily base, colord it with carminic acid and treated a sore with it but it had no effect. He then colord the same base with blue and the sore was heald with remark- able rapidity. Was not the color practis of the “ancients” based on this chromatic principle? They certainly used colors in a 190way that I do not believe was empirical. It seems as tho they had some fundamental reason for it. Their manner of painting the skin I believe had some specific action upon the conditions for which they painted it. The skin being exposed to the sunlight, radiant color must of necessity hav reacht the blood thru those various colors. My experience with this method of painting the skin has been limited, but it seems as tho, if the skin wer colord with certain indicated colors and exposed to the sunlight, there would be a more profound effect upon the abnormal condition of the patient than if the skin wer not so painted. This givs us a foundation for Chromatic Therapy which is discust in another part of this book. 191Parr Over. Lecrvre VII. GALVANOMETRIC AND B-D-C TESTS Vegetable and Animal Electrology Any rate and mode of motion in these tests indicated as “negativ’”’ can be dissipated by the positiv end of a bar magnet possessing about a six-inch deflecting power (Figs. 23 and 80). Radiations from my C-Chromatic Screen wil also neutralize every rate and mode of motion designated by the word, “negativ.” Any rate and mode of motion in these tests indicated as “positiv’” can be dissipated by the negativ end of a bar mag- net possessing about a six-inch deflecting power. Radiations from the 4-Chromatic Screen wil also neutralize every rate and mode of motion designated by the word, “positiv.” Any rate and mode of motion in these tests indicated as “neutral” can be dissipated by both the positiv and negativ ends of a bar magnet possessing about a six-inch deflecting power. Radiations from my D-Chromatic Screen wil also neutralize every rate and mode of motion designated by the word, “neutral.” When the words “ruby light” ar mentiond, they desig- nate radiant energy thru my 4-Chromatic Screen. When the words “blue light” ar mentiond, they desig- nate radiant energy thru my C-Chromatic Screen. When the words “violet light” ar mentiond, they desig: nate radiant energy thru my D-Chromatic Screen. The lamp used back of these screens in each instance was a 60-watt tungsten, and the Chromatic Screens wer used in the electric Bio-Dynamo-Chrome shown in Figs. 111 and 115. The galvanometer tests wer made with a very sensitiv instrument wel set in solid masonry so no building or erth vibrations would affect the findings. For the Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic tests, a young, helthy person was used as a control or “human galvanometer.” The tecnic in all these tests was as follows: 192I placed the substance to be examind on a grounded aluminum plate (Fig. 125) and had the control stand facing east or west, grounded to aluminum (Fig. 78). An alumi- num wire came in contact with the portion of the substance being examind (Fig. 125). The following wer my find- ings: A fig leaf just pickd from the tree (Fig. 125) gave from its stem and large veins negativ energy—dissipated by the blue light. (C-Chromatic Screen.) Between the stems and veins it gave positiv energy— dissipated by the ‘‘ruby” light. (4;Chromatic Screen.) Fresh roots and vegetables just puld from the ground gave negativ energy—dissipated by the “blue” light. The stem end of oranges, lemons, and apples gave negativ energy—dissipated by the “blue” light. The core of the fruit gave negativ energy while the edible portion of the fruit gave positiv energy. Ground = Fig. 125. Showing a grounded aluminum plate used in making tests of B-D-C reactions of fruit, leaves, etc. This figure shows a fresh fig leaf on the aluminum plate, Notis that the energy-conductor terminal rests on a paper box so it is insulated from the metal plate. The energy- conductor terminal is aluminum. The rind or protectiv part gave neutral energy—dissi- pated by the “violet” light. (D-Chromatic Screen.) Duck egs that I hav reason to believe wer fertil gave from the ends neutral energy—dissipated by the “violet” light. “ Hen’s egs that had been set on four days in some cases gave positiv energy and in some cases negativ energy. Those giving no energy wer not fertil. 1 do not know what sex is indicated by the different polarities, or rates and modes of motion, as I hav not had time to work it out. It requires a great deal of time to incubate one eg in a separate compart- ment and watch its development. My experiments ar simply to show that there is a difference in polarity, or rates and modes of motion, in egs, and it must mean something. The 193chick from one eg giving positiv energy, dissipated by the “ruby” light, I was able to mark and watch develop and it proved to be a pullet. The difference in “polarity,” or rates and modes of motion, of fruit and vegetables has a very far-reaching sig- nificance, because fruit that was decayd around the stem gave positiv energy from the decayd site. An orange with a de- cayd spot on one side gave from that spot only positiv energy but from the side that was sound, it gave neutral energy— dissipated by the “violet” light. My experiments seem to show that by means of a hu- man control (in other words, the vital force or magnetic human atmosfere) and colors, we hav as accurate a method of differentiating “polarities,” or rates and modes of motion, as by means of the most delicate galvanometer. (My tests wer made both by a delicate galvanometer and by colors, and in every instance they chekt up as above outlined.) My findings seem to show that everything that grows in the erth is negativly charged from the roots to the sap, and by means of the sap to the leaf; while the foliage be- tween the veins is positivly charged. Fruits seem to receive their electricit) or vital force in the same manner. For example, the apple is negativ from the stalk to and including the core, while the edible portion is positiv. The outside rind or conserver of the fruit’s energy is an insulating material and givs off neutral energy. A fact to be wel observd is that the part of the plant which is negativly charged is the part that is usually employd me- dicinally. If the negativly charged part of the fruit is used as food, it is usually cookt. Vegetable poisons, as a rule, ar extracted from the negativly charged part of the plant. A strong infusion of tea or coffee as wel as a solution of to- bacco givs off negativ energy—dissipated by the ‘‘blue”’ light. It is noteworthy that the stems and leaves of fruits as wel as the veins of same, and the roots of plants, giv off negativ energy. Normal generativ organs giv off negativ energy. It is also interesting to observ that the portion between the stems and veins and leaves, and the edible portion of the fruit giv off positiv energy, which is the same energy as that given from venous blood. From these findings, it seems as tho generation wer electrically negativ, while degeneration wer electrically pos- 194itiv—one energy corresponding to the “ruby” light and the other corresponding to the “blue” light. (See Chromatic Curv, Fig. 29.) My findings show that any ded material givs off energy the same as the atmosfere in which it is placed but that de- caying material, where the process is going on, givs of pos- itiv energy—dissipated by the “ruby” light. A ded substance in vitiated air givs off a different energy than if it is saturated with pure air. This givs us another scientific reason for living as much as possible in fresh, non-polluted air. Tobacco smoke‘ changes the polarity in a room in the same manner that carbon-dioxid gas does. Fig. 126 shows how I arrange poultry or birds in crates to test them out by means of the B-D-C system. It Fig. 126. Showing how I arrange birds and poultry in crates to be tested by the B-D-C method. Notis how the bird is grounded and how the aluminum energy-conductor terminal is held in place. In all these tests the subject (control, or human galvanometer) must face east or west and be also grounded to aluminum and in a subdued light. wil be notist that the crate is so narrow that the bird can- not turn around in it. By running a wire across the slats, various sized birds can be tested in the same crate. This picture shows how the bird is grounded and how the energy conductor is placed and how the crate is faced. A bird with avian tuberculosis wil giv off energy which, when conducted to a subject, as shown in Fig. 78 or Fig. 99, wil be dissipated by the dark-room-ruby light (4-Chro- matic Screen). The energy from the generativ organs and from other parts of the bird can be conducted and examind in this manner. 195Enercy or THE HANd TESTS BY THE GALYANOMETER In testing the hand with an extremely sensitiv galva- nometer, I hav discoverd some very peculiar facts. Fig. 127 represents the two binding posts of the galvanometer. When the thum of the right hand is at the upper binding post and the fingers of the same hand at the lower binding post, the reflecting mirror of the galvanometer wil point, for example, toward positiy (blue). If the hand is turnd about so that the thum is on the lower binding post and the fingers on the upper, Fig. 128, the indicating mirror wil turn toward the opposit pole, negatiy (red). Fig. 128. Fig. 130. The black terminals represent those from a galvanometer, The plus and minus signs show the result of hand energy past thru a galvanometer. If these binding posts ar graspt by the /eft hand as shown in Fig. 129, with the thum on the upper binding post and the fingers on the lower binding posts, the indicating mirror wil turn toward negativ (red). If this hand is re- verst so that the thum is at the lower binding post and the fingers at the upper, Fig. 130, the indicating mirror wil turn toward the opposit pole, positiv (blue). This seems to prove that the electrical currents thru the thum ar opposit to those which pass thru the fingers of each hand, but if the thum of the left hand is, for example, 196,plus (positiv), the thum of the right hand wil be minus (negatiy). If the fingers of the left hand ar minus (neg- ativ), the fingers of the right hand wil be plus (positiv). The polarities of the fingers and the thums ar not constant in the same person. For example, in the morning from eight to twelv, the polarities may be constant, but any time in the afternoon until six o'clock, the polarities may be opposit to what they wer in the morning and at evening. hav tried to formulate a law for this change but so far hav not been able to do so. The different fases of the moon do not seem to effect it. I hav tested the right hand of very many men and hav found that it is not the same at the same time of day in different men, and I hav tested women with the same result. The majority of women giv positiv energy from the fingers of the right hand while the majority of men giv positiv energy from the fingers of the left hand, provided the hand is clencht and the index finger pointed as shown Fig. 131. Showing the Valens Energy Mesure. The end that the finger is in is lined with pure aluminum, The plunger goes in and out and is markt to be used as a mesure. in Fig. 89. Clenching the hand in this manner makes the polarity more constant than it is if taking hold of the bind- ing posts of the galvanometer as above described. Tesrs By MEANS OF THE VR In every test when a person is used as a “human gal- vanometer,” he or she should be helthy. They should be grounded and face east or west, and the energy should be directed toward the epigastric region, the same as in fol- lowing out all the tecnic described for Bio-Dynamo-Chro- matic work. (Fig. 78). The sympathetic-vagal reflex wil be elicited in an in- dividual facing east or west if another person points toward her. (Fig. 78.) Fig. 131 shows an energy mesure for the hand. It is so constructed that the plunger can be pusht in or out, and 197a scale is on the plunger so as to tel how many inches the mesure is long. In the finger end of this energy mesure is an aluminum cup or large thimble. If the index finger of the right hand is placed in this thimble, as shown in Fig. 131, and the distal or free end of the mesure is placed against the epigastric region of an individual facing east or west (Fig. 132), the VR wil be elicited, provided there is energy enuf in the hand to do it. In experimenting with this mesure, my findings ar as follows: A female, who is sexually normal, pointing the finger of her right hand with this device when it reads 18 inches or more, wil elicit the VR in a subject facing east or west. If she points her left hand in this manner, it wil not elicit the VR unless the mesure reads 12 inches or lower. LEFT HAND FACING EAST On WEST Fig. 132. Showing how to use the Valens Energy Mesure. If a male, sexually normal, repeats this maneuver and points his left hand, it wil elicit the VR, 18 inches or more distant, while his right hand would not elicit the VR unless it wer 12 inches or less distant. I find that this fenomenon does not depend upon the polarity of the energy but only upon the intensity of the energy. Another peculiar fenomenon is that if the index finger of the right hand wil elicit the VR at 18 inches, the thum of the Jeft hand wil do the same. (Fig. 79.) I have not had time to work out all the diagnostic values of these fenomena, but record them here as a scien- tific fact. 198Rapiant Cotor Dissipares Hann ENercy If the dark-room-ruby light wil dissipate the energy from the index finger of the left hand (Fig. 89), the com- plementary blue wil dissipate the energy from the thum of the same hand (Fig: 79); and the neutral violet wil dissi- pate the energy from the thum and finger if both ar pointing at the same time, as shown in Fig. 90. REVERSING OF ENERGY I hav made a most startling discovery regarding the reversing of these energies. If an orange-yellow light is shed upon the individual, the maximum or minimum energy from either hand wil be reverst, and that which was in the right hand wil be in the left, and vice versa. This change wil last for some minutes after the light is extinguisht. This same fenomenon obtains if the individual drinks a yellow liquid such as saffron tea, orange pekoe tea, orange Juice, etc. The change from drinking this yellow liquid obtains five or more minutes, depending upon the individual. One fenomenon which appears ridiculous but which is true nevertheless, is that if sterilized water is put into a steril amber bottle and exposed to the sunlight for about eight hours, and a cup of this water drank, the maximum energy is reverst the same as if the person drank a yellow colord liquid or had an orange-yellow light shed upon the body. Dr. Edwin T. Babbitt mentions in his classical work on the Principles of Light and Color the fact that “am- bereau” (water exposed several hours to sunlight in an amber bottle) has a special curativ effect for certain dis- eases and that water exposed in a blue bottle has another effect, and so on. This led me to make these experiments, and it is proof extraordinary that color can produce a chem- ical effect without producing an ocular effect. This chemical effect of color probably plays an immense part in the uni- verse. INVERTED ENERGY A normal female one or two days before menstruation begins and two or three days after it has begun givs energy of about the same intensity from each hand. 199A male or female with inverted sexual propensities givs maximum energy opposit to that which a normal individual givs. DETECTING THE SEX OF THE UNBORN A normal female pregnant with a female fetus after the fourth month usually givs the same intensity of energy from the right hand as if she wer not pregnant. A normal female pregnant with a male fetus after the fourth month usually givs from her Jeft hand the maximum amount of energy. By comparing the energies from each hand of the preg- nant female, one can usually prognosticate the sex of the unborn. To do this correctly, every little detail must be car- ried out to a nicety. The mother should neither eat nor drink anything for six hours before the test. As in the B-D-C work, she should be in a room with a subdued light, grounded, and facing east or west; and the father of the child should not be in the room when the test is made. The person used as the “galvanometer” should be a normal female. Altho I do not consider this test infallible, I do believe that when once we understand better the cause of reversing of energies in the body, the test wil be reliable. I should be very glad to hear from every one who uses this test, so I can tabulate the results, as it is a very interesting subject and means a good deal more than simply telling the sex of the unborn. Derecrion OF PATERNITY I hav discoverd a very peculiar fenomenon in making many of these tests. I hav found that if the father of the fetus is within five or eight feet of the mother, or in fact in the same room, while the test is being made, the energy from the hands wil be reverst, and the findings ar opposit to those abov mentiond. If, however, the man in the room is not the father of the fetus, there wil be no change. This seems to indicate the subtle influence of vital force, aura, or mag- netic human atmosfere, of one person upon another. I would not think of going into court with these find- ings as a proof of pregnancy or of paternity, but it is an interesting experiment, and whether it always proves true or not, it shows that there is something in vital force that is deeper even than thot. 200RECAPITULATION OF “POLARITIES” or Ratrs AND Moprs of Motion Aluminum to living skin... 7 negativ Arteries, activ (same as left ventricle) negativ Arthritic joints—not specific. i ~positiv Blood, activ arterial ..... .Megativ Blood, activ venous positiv Cancer—B-MM VR—lesional energy... _positiv (VR dissipated by radiations thru B-Chromatic Screen) Copper, brass, silver, iron, gold, etc. to living skin.....positiv Ebonite rubd with cat's fur. .Megativ postiy, ‘negativ or neutral 105-MM VR Epilepsy ee Eye and ear, right—living female Eye and ear, left—living female Fye and ear, right—living male...

Lecture IX. BIO-DYNAMO-CHROMATIC THERAPY (B-D-C Therapy) Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Therapy signifies treatment by means of intermittent radiant color and the magnetic merid- ian. B-D-C Therapy must not be confounded with Chromo- Therapy, which signifies color-therapy ; nor with Foto-Ther- apy, which means radiant-light therapy. The fysics underlying the B-D-C Therapy ar based on the following facts: 1. When a “normal” person is grounded and faces due north or south in a dark room, their MM VR is elicited. 2. When a person possessing a normal MM VR is grounded and faces due north or south in a dark room and a ruby light is shed upon the bare chest and abdomen, the MM VR is dissipated, that is, obliterated (Fig. 20). 3. If a person has an “abnormal” MM VR and is grounded and faces due north or south in a dark room, a certain radiant color wil temporarily normalize the abnor- mal energy from the body and elicit the the MM VR. TeEcnic 1. Hav the room dark. 2. Hav the patient grounded. 3. Hav the patient sit in a reclining position with the body relaxt, chest bare, and facing exactly north or south (Fig. 133.) 4. For a person with a normal MM VR, allow the dark-room-ruby light (4*-Chromatic Screen) to radiate on the bare chest intermittently in such a manner that the light wil be on from two to four seconds and off from two to four seconds. 5. If the person has an abnormal MM VR, follow out the exact tecnic as above with the exception that the radiant color wil be the color that wil elecit the MM VR. 2036. This treatment should be given at least once every week-day and last from twenty to forty minutes. (Note—As stated under the hed of Oxygen-Vapor Therapy, I think it is a good plan to giv the B-D-C Therapy at the same time that the patient is taking oxygen vapor. e Fig. 133.) ig. 133. Showing B-D-C Therapy tecnic. Notis the grounding chain at the right. It is attacht to the inhalation tube, so when the patient has hold of the mask on tube, she is grounded. The chair is so placed that patient faces exactly North or South. Notis that the chair has an_ad- justable back, so patient can take an easy relaxt position. The B-D-C should be only about three feet distant from the bare chest. This figure shows a B-D-C and Oxygen-Vapor booth. I giv oxygen vapor at same time I giv B-D-C therapy 204To make the abov more clear, I wil cite some exam- ples. Suppose the patient givs an 4-MM VR or an atten- uated 4-MM VR. That patient should be treated with ra- diant light thru the 4*-Chromatic Screen. If the patient givs a C-MM VR, they should be treated with radiant light thru the C-Chromatic Screen. Tf the patient has a normal MM VR, they should be treated with the 4‘-Chromatic Screen. “INTERMITTENT-LIGHT TREATME! The B-D-C Therapy has been described by some writers as an “Intermittent-Light Treatment,” but unless the B-D-C tecnic is carried out, the intermittent color has no special effect upon the organism. When one thoroly understands the fysics underlying the B-D-C work, they wil redily see that the patient must be in a dark room, grounded, and facing exactly north or south to obtain the stimulating effects given by this intermittent light treatment. The Valens Bio-Dynamo-Chrome, illustrated in Figs. 111,114, 115, etc., is so constructed that it wil automatic- ally intermit the light for this method of treatment. If the operator wishes to make his own outfit, he must obtain some kind of an arrangement for intermitting the light regularly, that is, so that it wil be on at intervals equal to the intervals that it is off, and hav these intervals from two to four seconds. This intermission of light could be given by means of a specially constructed motor or by a thermostatic make and break device. The Valens Bio-Dynamo-Chromes hav a specially con- structed thermic make and break device which can be redily adjusted without taking the box apart. B-D-C THerapy BENEFICIAL That the B-D-C Therapy is a valuable adjunct to any other therapy has been proved beyond all doubt. The B-D-C Therapy aids nature in a natural manner—it exhil- arates the sympathetic system in a way that nothing else can. The B-D-C Therapy is homeopathic—it is safe and sound. I believe this fase of the law of similars is as true as gravitation or any other natural law, but one must know 208and understand the laws governing it the same as they would any other fysical fenomenon. Like other natural laws, this Magnetic-Meridian Law is so simple that anyone can demonstrate it to his satisfaction without the use of elabo- rate and expensiv instruments; and there is a scientific ex- planation of it all. The far-reaching effect that this law has on humanity cannot be exprest in words. The fact that it enables the physician to diagnose tuberculosis, cancer, syfilis, etc., at their very inception, givs him an opportunity to act at the most propitious time and in the most propitious manner.
